I was in the lift ticket office at Stevens Pass getting my rfid pass to work for this hope on the slopes event (24 hour skiing) and this guy comes in and asks "Are you guys affiliated with Snoqualmie? Like will my pass work here?" (completely different resort) and the lady behind the desk says, umm no but I guess I could take 5$ off a ticket for the day for you? And he says "ok" and stands there as she rings him up, and then he just randomly walks away.
"Can you hot wax my snowlerblades?"
Wasn't a gaper, but I walked away laughing my ass off.
Guy in Avy class... "why do we mostly ski on North facing slopes?" Instructor explains that the snow is often better because they get less sunlight... guy asks "why?" Instructor explains about the earth's axis tilting, etc..
Don't you learn that in elementry school?
Didn't you learn the difference between AXIS and EXCESS in elementary schol?Quote:

Needless to say, she was introduced to spring break at breck properly.
About a month ago, I was on the chair behind a parent with a little kid (maybe 4 years old). It's not uncommon for new skiers to lose a ski by snagging a tip when the chair swings after loading, but this little guy managed to eject both skis, and to leave them standing vertically right in front of me. So, after loading I found myself heading toward two skis sticking straight up (fortunately, short skis). I managed to reach out and pick up the one that was heading for my crotch before it did any damage; the other one hit the chair between me and my wife. That was a new experience...Quote:

"waist deep powder top to bottom is cool and all....but it just gets boring after one run."

Patrollers at the top of Andesite were running a dog drill a couple weekends ago. slide path all stomped out with three holes and three patrollers inside of them. The dog and handler are out doing their thing with several patrollers standing by watching/shoveling when the dog finds someone. Dude skies by and asks a patroller (and as far as I can tell he was serious) "When did this happen?? Do you guys want help searching??"
for reference, the top of andesite is the scree cone visible here:

Yeah brah. I think he was saying that surface skis suck and maybe you were the gaper.Quote:

This was first spin of the year for the Gem Lake chair at Big White, which most of the crowd had been there an hour or more early, only to have these connected cool cats show up 15 mins before go time. Didn't work out so well for them. The resorts resident photo-douche tough guys get schooled too at the end. The crowd was merciless and loved it!
i covered this on page 1 of this thread, JONG!Quote:

Non snow related, but holy crap the world does not lack for dumb people. Went out Mtn biking Sunday morning with some friends. One guy just got back from Cancun and had to go to the concierge desk for something. As he walked up, the lady was just getting off the phone with someone who was complaining that it was too windy.
WORD! Add to that the old guy, taking his ski-boots off: "Ahh...best part of the day..."Quote:

On a side note, I'm not sure if its actually worth waiting for an hour for the Gem to open. They usually open that chair before there is a sufficient base to cover all the shit
I got that brah, sorry the skis I own aren't up to your standards. Or is it that they just don't quite go well enough with your arc'teryx suit?Quote:

Man, same thing happened when they ran the new single @ MRG. Some older dude and I were # 1 and 2, waiting over an hour and a half, and some "sponsors" walk up last minute. Kinda stings.
